AMD’s Radeon RX Vega has been the talk of the town this week following the official reveal of the Vega 64 and Vega 56 on Monday morning. AMD has been extremely cautious to not let slip any relevant performance benchmarks to the public, and they have intentionally made their slides as vague as possible, either to avoid tipping off NVIDIA, or to avoid being taken to task by their fans should they fail. Early performance numbers always manage to find their way onto the internet though, and Tweaktown managed to get their hands on some of these from a close source. The results are quite interesting, so hit the jump to see what’s up!

It’s not often that leaks from interns inside a hardware company are taken seriously, but this one might actually be more than just a random Photoshop edit intended to fool the media. A Facebook post by NVIDIA intern Mike Tsai in Taiwan included a picture of a reasonably high-end rig that he took a snap of, but the GPU is quite new, and if it is a hoax, it’s a very elaborate one. Hit the jump for some more details.

After a year’s sabbatical, the Assassin’s Creed franchise may be making a return. Maybe. Possibly. This isn’t confirmed yet, so keep that pinch of salt handy, but…

An image posted to Reddit and Imgur is making the rounds, and it’s supposedly an off-screen picture of the new game in action. If true, the next game will be called Assassin’s Creed: Origins, and will transport players to ancient Egypt.

Got your pinch of salt? Good, keep it handy, just in case. According to Eurogamer, who cite three anonymous sources, the Nintendo Switch will run older GameCube titles through its Virtual Console. Although it’s still unconfirmed, Eurogamer has been right about these things before, particularly with the God of Warleak earlier this year.

AMD’s Zen processor family is undoubtedly the most talked-about architecture hitting the ground next year, and rumours have been flying everywhere on the net with people trying to speculate what it will look like, and what kind of performance it’s going to offer to enthusiasts. Most rumours start out on Chinese forums with little substance or evidence to lend them some credibility, but some come from sources that couldn’t possibly be false, and this generates a flurry of new discussions on the internet as people try make sense of them. As it happens, a deluge of new rumours arrived this past week from a thread on the locally-based Carbonite forums. The contents of the thread were never meant to be shared all over the internet, but it happened anyway. Let’s dig into the rumours and what they might mean for AMD’s launch in 2017.
